UAV-Based Collaborative Electronic Reconnaissance Network for 6G

Abstract

In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collaborative electronic reconnaissance network, single UAV is always restricted by flyability and sensing capacity; hence, a cooperative network is built to realize the electronic reconnaissance. In this paper, a three-level electronic reconnaissance network is proposed, including the radiation target, UAV-based electronic reconnaissance equipment, and the command center. Each of the UAVs is capable of monitoring several radiation targets at the same time. Since the topology of the UAV network influences the effect of electronic reconnaissance, in this contribution, optimization is achieved based on the improvement of radiation coverage. If there is no radiation target within the sensing scope, the corresponding UAV will remove according to our novel strategy. Iterate operations are carried out for the relative optimum performance. Simulation results show that the UAV network topology optimization is capable of improving the coverage of radiation targets effectively.
